Yes, your birthday is around the corner. But, isn't it too rude to remind your friends to post birthday presents to you? And, you specified no food stuff. You're based in a foreign land now. Have you thought of the postage rate? Have you considered your friends waiting in the post office during their lunch break to weigh the parcels and mail them to you? Please spare a thought for others. You always wonder why you have very few friends. You should know the reason now.

it's time you remembered who you really are.

You are not your wallet, your job, your kids, your house. You are not your activities or your worries or the labels other people give you. Like an actor you play these roles, and like a good actor you sometimes forget who you really are. Time to wake up now, and remember that you are a being of immense power and breathtaking beauty created in the image of God.
